The roof-top slide of Valley Pool has been a Livermore icon for decades, where supplies are sold for back-yard pools in suburbia. This pool slide has been a perennial inspiration to me, for paintings in both watercolor and oil. Sunset of Valley Pool was painted in the studio, based on smaller field paintings of the slide, with Mount Diablo in the distance.
This unexceptional little corner of Santa Barbara came alive with the warm light radiating off the hills and beckoned me to paint before the streets were too crowded with tourists.
